" Every time I come here, I feel like I’m transported back to Italy. The handmade pasta is an absolute must-try and gives such a warm, authentic feel. The atmosphere is lovely, and there’s nothing better than their homemade gelato to round off the meal. Service can be a bit hit-or-miss, so don’t hesitate to raise your concerns. Overall, it's a gem in Houston’s dining scene. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become our go-to spot for anniversaries! The rustic decor really sets the mood, and the pasta never disappoints. The ravioli seems to be made from scratch, and accompanied by a sauce that packs a punch. Service has improved over the years as well. The portions could be a tad larger, but I think that’s just my enthusiasm for their cuisine. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Italian dinner experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Damian's! The food is always top-notch, the pasta tastes fresh, and the service is typically attentive. The ambiance strikes the right balance of cozy and upscale, making it suitable for both family dinners and romantic outings. Their seafood dishes are particularly fantastic, loaded with flavor, and perfect portions. Highly recommend trying their tiramisu for dessert. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my anniversary here and it was a joyful experience! The ambiance really fitted our special evening. The food was delightful, I ordered the gnocchi. It was one of the best I've had in town! The staff went above and beyond in serving us. The only downside was the portion size, which was good but could have been a bit more for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I tried Damian's, I was taken aback by the authentic taste of Italy in Houston. The pizza we ordered was phenomenal, crispy on the outside and delightful toppings. The waiter provided helpful recommendations and the atmosphere was casual yet charming. Everyone really enjoyed their meal, and I can see why it’s a local favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my visit. The vibe is wonderful, but the food did not live up to expectations. The meatballs were bland, and the pasta didn’t taste fresh. Service was also lacking; waited too long for our order and for silverware. Not sure I would recommend, especially given the prices—there are better Italian places in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a really special birthday dinner here recently. The restaurant made my day feel unique and memorable. The lasagna was heavenly, the service was great, and I cherished the ambiance—a perfect setting for celebrations. Will encourage more friends and family to try this gem out! " (*Curated Review*)
